In Dearborn, MI, “Little Arabia of America” where they celebrated in the streets on 9/11/01.
Great choice guys.
Has anyone heard anything about last night’s “VALUES DEBATE”? I’ve seen or heard nothing. Only about 5 of the candidates accepted the invite to participate; Alan Keyes was supposed to be one.
CAN SOMEBODY GIVE US AN UPDATE?
Nine candidates showed up, not much was said we hadn't heard. Keyes is still a fine preacher, Paul is still certifiable.
Huckabee Wins Values Debate Straw Poll with 63%
Here are the official results of the straw poll conducted before and then immediately after the Values Voter debate. The poll included 340 delegates hand-selected by 40 of America’s social conservative activists and opinion makers. Pre-debate numbers are located in the parenthesis and the post debate numbers immediately follow the colon.
(Note: the vote by voting delegates indicated who they actually support, not just who they thought won the debate)
Highlights:
* Huckabee picks up over 100 votes from pre- to post-debate results, winning 63% in final tally...nobody else even close.
* Romney gets ZERO votes in post-debate vote...losing the 14 votes he had coming in.
* In the post-debate vote, Fred lost 75% of his pre-debate total.
